Abstract

From the complex topic, fundamental and com-prehensible arguments are selected and pre-sented so that the effect of atmospheric CO₂concentration on balance in troposphere can be clearly evaluated. Presentation of relative values as used in the last report of an accredited scien-tific authority, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), leads to considerable overestimation of the real situation. We docu-ment that the outcomes from this report of IPCC are provably false. Using a simple calculation, it is possible to demonstrate that the elevating of CO₂ concentration does not cause the global warming in a degree that is expected basing on the report.
